Top 5 places to drink in Madrid
With a bodega on every street corner and a British counterculture
explosion in Madrid’s trendy areas, you’ll never be short of great places to eat
or drink. However, here are some hidden gems well worth checking out:
1. Carmencita Bar
Tucked away in the heart of trendy neighbourhood Malasana,
Carmencita Bar offers a range of breakfasts, from the best eggs benedict you’ll
ever eat to burgers. The piece de la resistance is they offer mimosas for 1
Euro.
2. Lamiak Bar
This funky little bar fuses old-school Spain with the modern
world. With a large array of vintage jazz posters on the wall and beautiful
selection of pinchos (loaded brushettas) you can’t go wrong hanging out with
the cool kids in Anton Martin.
3. Taberna El Buo
This place serves the biggest tortilla (Spanish omelette)
you’ll ever see. They’re good, but be warned; you will need a siesta after
eating just half of one. Just as well this traditional, yet contemporary
restaurant is great for chilling out.
4. Le Huelga
It’s easy to miss this tiny barrios in the trendy lanes of
Lavapies (pronounced laa-va-pee-es). An unassuming doorway opens into a dark
and red haven of rock and soul. The bar also boasts an enormous collection of
Communist propaganda art.
5. Café Manuela
Immerse yourself in the art deco surroundings of Manuela.
Enjoy a civilised board game while sipping on an After Eight milkshake or
rioja. This place gets pretty busy so arrive early to secure a seat.
